Product Overview
Thinking about giving your food presentation a rustic, artisan boost? Meet the Dudson Harvest Oblong Chefs Plate. This isn't just another plate; it's a statement piece designed to make your culinary creations shine. Its unique oblong shape and rich, earthy green colour provide the perfect canvas, tapping directly into the popular farm-to-table dining trend that customers love. It’s a simple switch that can totally transform a dish from just 'food' to an 'experience'.
Perfectly suited for bustling gastropubs, artisan cafés, and restaurants that pride themselves on presentation, these green serving plates for restaurants are built for the demands of a commercial kitchen. Crafted from durable porcelain by the renowned Churchill brand, each plate is tough enough to handle daily service, being both microwave and dishwasher safe. The design is deliberately rustic, meaning it looks just as at home serving a hearty pie as it does a delicate, deconstructed dessert.
What really sets the Dudson Harvest FC047 plate apart is its authenticity. Each piece features a hand-sponged rim, ensuring no two plates are exactly alike. This subtle variation adds a layer of handcrafted charm that mass-produced crockery simply can't match. If you're looking to enhance your food's visual appeal and create a memorable dining experience, these plates are a fantastic choice.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Oakhill Inn, a countryside pub in the Peak District, wanted to update their tableware to better reflect their modern-British menu. They chose the Dudson Harvest green plates to replace their plain white ones, aiming for a warmer, more memorable guest experience.
"The moment we started using these plates, the feedback was instant. Customers commented on how lovely they looked, and our food photos for social media have never looked better. They just make the colours of the dishes sing."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The pub reported a significant increase in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation within the first three months of use.
What Makes a Hand-Sponged Rim So Special?
You might see 'hand-sponged rim' and wonder what that really means. It’s not a fancy marketing term; it’s a mark of genuine craftsmanship. In the production process, the coloured edge is applied by hand with a sponge, meaning the finish on every single Dudson Harvest green oblong plate is slightly different. Think of it like a painter's brushstroke – each one is unique. This process deliberately moves away from the identical, machine-made look. It ensures your collection of plates has character and an authentic, rustic charm that simply can't be replicated by a machine, giving your tabletops a truly personal feel.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack carefully, checking for any transit damage before first use.
- Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle.
- Ensure plates are completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture marks.
- Plan your storage – their oblong shape might require different spacing on your shelves.
Keeping It Going
- Load into dishwasher racks carefully, avoiding direct contact that could cause chipping.
- While durable, avoid extreme temperature changes (like taking a hot plate and running it under cold water).
- To remove stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cream or cleaner designed for ceramics.
- Stack with felt pads or plate protectors between each one if storing for long periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the colour part of the glaze?
A: Yes, the rich green colour is part of a durable, matte glaze which is fired onto the porcelain body, making it resistant to fading and scratching from cutlery.
Q: Are these plates fully vitrified?
A: Yes. Churchill porcelain is fully vitrified, meaning it has very low water absorption. This makes it more hygienic and resistant to chipping and thermal shock.
Q: Will the hand-sponged rim on each Dudson Harvest FC047 plate be very different?
A: The variations are subtle and intentional, designed to create a rustic, cohesive look across the set rather than being dramatically different.
Q: Can I buy these plates individually?
A: This product is sold in a convenient box of 6, which is ideal for professional settings and ensures you get a consistent batch.
Q: How resistant are they to chipping?
A: The porcelain body and rolled edges are specifically designed for commercial use, offering excellent chip resistance compared to standard domestic crockery.
Q: Are these plates heavy?
A: As professional-grade porcelain, they have a satisfying weight that communicates quality to the customer, but are not overly heavy for staff to carry.
Q: Does the matte finish stain easily?
A: No, the high-quality glaze is engineered to be stain-resistant, even with strongly coloured foods like beetroot or tomato-based sauces.
Q: Is the base of the plate glazed?
A: The base foot is typically unglazed and polished to prevent scratching other plates when stacked.
